Correspondence of the Gazette.
BRYAN, TEX, May 29.-Another glor-
ious rain fell yesterday at this place and
the adjoining country, extending several
miles from Bryan. From indications q
very heavy rain fell south and southwest
Of this place. 1t was beginning to be
much needed, but in the above described
circuit suffiCienCy fell for present pur-
poses, From four to twelve miles west
of Bryan there was only light shower,
but the planters in that direction were
needing RAIN for corn only. Experienced
and reliable farmers asserted positively
that the prospect for large yield of cot.
ton in the Brazos valley, is better
this year than any year since 1882.
Your correspondent is deeply impressed
with the truth of the above assertion, hav-
ing visited some Of the cotton farms in
that section on yesterday. The yield, Of
corn in that portion, with good rain
soon, will be large. Cotton, however, is
"king," with most of the planters of this
portion of the Brazos valley, consequent
ly they do not depend so much upon any
other crop.

place at Washington rink tonight. 1t
mas been an open question
which is the better man, and
they are so nearly matched
in size and weight that the contest be-
tween them depends entirely upon pugil-
istic ability. The men were weighed this
morning, Warren tipping the scales at
1854 and Danforth at 1l94. The articles
Of agreement call for fifteen rounds with
two-ounce gloves, Marquis of Queensbery
rules, The fight is for a purse of 5000
and the entire gate receipts, the winner
TO take all.
After several preliminary set-tos the
principals appeared. Warren was Sec
onded by Patsey Cardiff and John Don
aldson, and Danforth by John P. Glow
and Daniel Needham. Both men ap-
peared in perfect condition and respond
ed promptly. For the first ten rounds the
men were pretty evenly matched, and it
was give and take with the odds, if any
thing, in favor of Warren. In the last
three rounds DanfOrth was plainly
beaten, but fought gamely to the end,
when he was laid out for good by q blow
on the jugular.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, May 30.-George Johnson,
a negro man, shot and killed Newton
Clayton, also colored, aged only four
years, this morning. The tragedy oc-
Cured up the river, about four miles
north of the city. From the evidence
taken in the case it seems that the child
was shot down without any provocstion,
and it remains with the grand jury now in
session to say whether or not it was
murder. According to the testimony
George Johnson, who is married man,
had cleft his WIFE," according to negro
lingo, and "taken up" at Jemima Browns
house just before he shot the child.
George was setting in Jemima's cabin
talking TO one of the women who lives
there and the little fellow was told by
the negro woman to strike George. He
did as he was bid, and George said: "If
you do that sgP in I'll shoot you" The
child's mother remarked that George had
better not shoot her baby. Then, with
out any further conversation, George
pulled out small pistol and walking
over to where the little fellow
was clinging to his mothers
dress, placed the muzzle up to the
child's head and fired it OFF. The ball,
which entered the forehead just above
the left eye, caused death almost instant
ly. The child's mother commenced
